About The Park

Little Chalfont Nature Park is a special place. It is a rare survivor of once common English meadow which escaped modern agriculture, fertilisers, weed killers and insect killers and exists untouched, much as it was hundreds of years ago.

Conserving the Past for the Future

A 'People's Meadow'

​The Park is a beautiful, peaceful place to walk, relax and observe the quiet workings of nature. Is a great place for wild flowers and grasses and a diverse range of bugs, butterflies and birds. You may even see a muntjac or a grass snake.

As a bonus, next to this rare grassland is an almost unspoilt survivor of natural woodland that once covered much of England.​

HRH Prince Charles' Coronation Meadows were established in 2013 when he realised just how many wild-flower meadows had been lost over the past 60 years.

Although not a Coronation Meadow, the Park has been awarded People's Meadow status as a place to see meadow wild flowers.
